great idea dude.... i believe any medium is acceptable and can be used. check your emulsion if it can take oil based medium. and make sure u have cleaners for that if not have to sacrifice the screen. if you do, show us the result.

laulyg:
maybe some thoughts to give you more ideas.

paper n oil. minyak masak is ok but i use sewing machine oil - its transparent. use the thinnest paper u can find 70gsm from tesco that feels thin like crap is my choice.

susugetah - trasparency or film burns so much better especially if you do fine lines or dots. they burn faster too. because the print is SO opaque.

silk - have to use one that is specifically for silkscreen. others can use but results vary and too frustrating to deal with. if using rubber or normal dye, my screen size preference is 1200 but 1000 and 900 is ok for normal printing and big art. plastisol will need a more tighter screen (smaller holes). khai lien carries SEFAR screens.

if dont have glue, just use stapler, hopefully stapler gun. your 1st screen is usually where you learn from mistakes. i like my screen tight. better send for stretching if you can afford. my pref pressure for stretching is minimum 25 Newton.

add more if i have time. cheers.

nice work...

nice job. i'll try and get some pics up next week.
